Spring Forward

Today is the day we sprang forward (wait – in English we’re making all verbs regular verbs – I guess we springed forward – ugh, let’s stay irregular). Daylight Savings Time is back, which means that I get to drive to work in the dark again. In the winter I get up in the dark, drive to work in the dark, and drive home in the dark: Winter in New England. Then, as we move into February, sunrise starts to become early enough that I am not driving in the dark. Then we get Daylight Savings Time, and it’s back to darkness. The one constant is that I walk my dog in the dark (we get up very early here, and she always wants a nice long walk) – the dog’ll be 13 in May, so that’s a lot of walks. Do we still need Daylight Savings Time?

Today’s podcast has nothing to do with Daylight Savings Time. Instead we have Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine and Alison Moyet leading us off, followed by the Left Banke, Joe Jackson, the La’s, Jacqueline Taieb, Nick Lowe, Otis Redding, Raphael Saadiq, the Go-Go’s, the Bangles, kd lang, the Youngbloods, Billy Bragg with Wilco, Julian Cope and Stevie Wonder.

All podacasts are still available for streaming or download at brennick.net. Leave comments and suggestions, and please share with others. Thank you.
